Happy World Mental Health Day! Which countries have the best mental health care?

Luxembourg

At only 51 by 35 miles, it may be surprising to hear that the small nation of Luxembourg has the highest ranked healthcare system around the globe! Yes, the average life expectancy of its inhabitants is the grand age of 82, but it is not only physical health that this country takes seriously.

Luxembourg boasts a unique approach to mental health, starting with its Positive Education model practiced in schools. This model teaches citizens from a young age to prioritize wellbeing rather than achievement. Growing up in Luxembourg is not all about learning your times tables and spelling. Children here are also encouraged to celebrate rather than suppress their differences. The result? Longer and happier lives for Luxembourgers!
